We have a NEW blogger among us and HE IS HAVING A GIVEAWAY!!! YOU must go check him out!
He is the Children’s Pastor at Carmel A/G and I promise you will have a GREAT time visiting and getting to know him!
On another note….we are headed to the Center for our last day with the children. I already have the butterflies of emotions rolling around my heart and stomach (not something I ate) about saying goodbye. I know it will be emotional, and we will all ride back to the hotel with wet eyes. God has been so faithful and good to us this week. I have so much more to tell and share with you, but much of it causes tears to flow, so I will have to take that journey slowly.
You all are so great to pray for us, thank you. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. My friend from Dothan, Lisa gave me a shoe sized scripture that I tucked underneath the insole of my tennis shoe. Lisa, the scripture is still there, has carried my body through this journey of faith–and I leave those shoes, scripture intact with Carlos. His toes were sticking out of his shoes when we met him. Broke my heart. We are all leaving a piece of ourselves with these awesome people. Thank you to all of our sponsors who made this a possibility! God will reward your faithful hearts! This is something I prayed about participating in and GOD gave me the desire of my heart!
When our desires line up with HIS….it happens every time….in HIS time.
Have a blessed Thursday. Pray for our team. I love you all so much!

Aunt Angie,
Thanks so much for encouraging people to check out my new blog, and helping me really get it off the ground! You are the best! :)…I can already tell how awesome a ministryi opportunity this is going to be! I am so glad I am now a part! I love you much! IT has been amazing to spend your first missions trip with you! I believe we have truly made a difference in this nation, that will only be known in it's full glory when we are all gathered in Heaven, standing beside the lives we touched this week! What an amazing thought!
Love,
Aaron
